This is a recipe from my Great Grandmother. I can remember going to her house and sitting down to a lunch of Fried chicken, mash potatoes, green beans, fried corn, biscuits and fried peach pies for dessert. It is a wonder we didn’t all die from heart disease but that is country living. These directions were written for me real countrified so I explained best I could but you will get the jist. Make dough, fill it and fry it!

 

 

 INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS 

Place flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

Cut in Crisco with pastry cutter or fork.

Add enough milk to make dough, do not mix too much.

Let biscuit dough sit for 1 hour.

Meanwhile take dried peaches and put in sauce pan with enough water to cover and cook until soft.

Add 1 1/2 cups of sugar and cook 15 minutes more.

Remove from stove and mash with potato masher; set aside.

Preheat electric skillet to 300 degrees.

Take biscuit dough and pull enough off for one pie, roll it out thin on floured board. Take a saucer, place on rolled out dough and trim around it with a sharp knife.

Place two big spoons of peaches on one side of dough and lap the other side over in half moon shape. Seal the edges with a fork.

These pies can be eaten warm or stored in a container and eaten the next day room temperature they are awesome either way.
